I picked up 2 week old Peckin ducklings from the feed store and when I got home I noticed one had spraddle leg (we call him Wobbles). I made him a hobble and it seemed like he could start walking for a day.
But now he has gone lopsided. He uses his good foot to move and uses his other a like a peg leg. His good leg also looks like it's starting to face inward. His bad leg doesn't bend at the foot, he stands on it at his duck version of a knee.. and the foot is shriveled looking. See picture.. He has been using the side of the bin to keep one side up.
I have been giving niacin in brewers yeast for the past three days. Im going to give him some swimming sessions. Wondering if any of you have any advice for helping this little fella.
Should he get another hobble? Any good physical therapy beside swimming?
Thanks!
